title: Thioether-promoted direct olefination of polyfluoroarenes catalyzed by palladium.
abstract: A methyl(phenyl)sulfane-promoted direct olefination of polyfluoroarenes catalyzed by palladium has been reported. With use of this new thioether ligand, a high reaction efficiency and excellent E/Z ratio of desired olefinated polyfluoroarenes were obtained. This represents a first example of thioether promoted oxidative Heck reaction.
